3. OS Reinstall: While keeping the data volume in tact, re-install the RAIDiator firmware on the
ReadyNAS, reset the admin password and change the DHCP assignment to DHCP client. This
is helpful if you have lost your admin password and want to set it back to default, if errors in
your network settings has made it impossible to connect to the ReadyNAS, or if you suspect
that the operating system on your disk may somehow be corrupt.
Tip: If possible, use the configuration backup (see
page 2-34) to save your configuration so that if you have to reset the unit to its
factory default settings, you can simply restore all your settings from the
configuration backup.
4. Tech Support: Enable the remote diagnostic function.
5. Skip Volume Check: Boot the system but bypass the volume check.
6. Memory Test: Perform a memory diagnostic.
Typically, if you find that a configuration change makes the unit inaccessible, you can use option
(3) to set the unit back to a factory default state.
